Three attacked with hammer in London

LONDON (AP) — British police are hunting a man who broke into an upmarket London hotel and battered three women with a hammer.

The Metropolitan Police force says the women, all from the United Arab Emirates, suffered head and facial injuries. One is in critical condition in a hospital, while the others are in serious but not life-threatening condition.

The women, in their 30s, and three children were asleep in adjoining rooms of the Cumberland Hotel in central London when a man broke in early Sunday. Police say the women were attacked after they awoke and disturbed the intruder.

Detectives found a hammer at the scene.

Police said today that they are treating the attacks as attempted murder.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Connecticut’s 2011 national championship has been characterized as a one-man effort by Kemba Walker. Good as he was, he still needed help from teammates Jeremy Lamb, Alex Oriakhi and Shabazz Napier.

Now that it’s Napier’s turn, the same gotta-have-help method has applied — this time with DeAndre Daniels and Ryan Boatright taking turns at the wheel.
